Hey Everyone...hope your day is going well. Just wanted to ask you all...is there a name ( insult) that you can not stand to be called. You know how people can be...they may shout out an insult to you by calling you a name. The one name I can not stand and it goes right thru me...even if someone is just joking around...its being called a JERK! I just cant stand the sound of that word...nothing. A friend of mine once while in a bar turned to look at me and just jokingly said to me...Hey ya Jerk! Man....I just got up and walked out. Someone once said..well truth hurts....well Im sorry Im not a jerk..never will be. So is there a name that you cant stand to be called? You can call me anything else you want...but never call me a Jerk. So even think about jokingly even calling me that or even sending me a message calling me a jerk cause I will put you on ignore faster than you can imagine...friend or foe.

I've been called a bunch of things. I guess I've mellowed in my old age....nothing really bothers me much anymore. If some idiot calls me a name, I just consider the source and move on.
-
Good post Jerk. Oh I mean Timmayy. Sorry dude. I couldn't resist. Don't take it personally.
I've been called pretty much every name in the book by my wife at one time or other when I've pissed her off. None of them have ever really bothered. ;D
I guess "loser" would have to be one of the more harsher ones to me. My wife never called me this but someone close to did before and it cut right through me and I still hold a grudge to this day.
-
I guess I opened myself up for that...but I dont think you understood the seriousness of it. Dude if you werent such a good friend..you would be in the ingore catergory...seriously.
And its my day today and Im not going to let things like that get to me...I just sent that email to ya..

Tim, you must be very young. The big shocker for me was and still is when people call you, "Sir!" It strikes me as marking me in an older generation than the speaker--it's an ego/age issue I guess. The first time it happened was in my late twenties, and I'm still shocked, I can't get over it, unless it's in a setting like the maitre d' of a restaurant. I got it this morning when I had to get some air in my tire, and the guy ahead of me was working w/o a tire gauge. I offered mine, and he said "Sir" twice--I was on my way to the gym and I almost headed home for a rocking chair.
-
I dont feel as being called Sir is making one feel old. Im 38 and I get called Sir all the time. I guess its just a regional thing. Around here..if someone calls you Sir...they are being very polite. To me being called Sir shows you are well respected.

Name calling used to bother me a lot more when I looked at acceptance by others as a measure of my worth. I know, nobody admits to doing that.
The true measure of a person's worth is determined by the one who created him/her! ;)
Once I figured that one out, I really don't care a whole lot about name calling anymore. O0
-
I laugh at people when they call me names. I figure most of them have limited vocabularies and can't help themselves. Besides, laughing at them pisses most of them off.

I am with you on that one Timmmmmay....Calling me a jerk is like calling a woman a b%!$& or C^%.
Not sure why, but that's a big one in my book..Although prick would be right up there too.. :(
-
I cant figure it out either mojim....it just goes right thru me for some reason. Even though the word Jerk isnt that bad of a name ...but its right up there with the worst of the worst for me. I have never called anyone that...and never will..just because im one who treats others the way I want to be treated..

Sorry brother. I take it back. I should have taken it more seriously. O0

I think when I hear the words, queer, fag, faggot it is as bad as when I hear someone use the words nigger, spick, wetback, jewboy etc. In my younger days I word let it slide, not anymore.
-
my big one is son-of-a-bitch. if i don't know you and i hear that word, you will get your face rearranged. it does not bother me from friends cause they are not calling my mom a bitch. other than that i am pretty easy to get along with.

There is a line in a Smiths song that I have tried my hardest to consider when I cope sh*t for strangers
"Why do I give valuable time to people who dont care if I live or die"
I try not to let name calling and abuse bother me. I dont give a sh*t about them, they dont give a sh*t about me. End of story

Sup Steve! ;D <--- see, I did not use the word..... Martin .... lol!!!
If you feel that strongly about it I would never call you that.
Me, I don't really pay attention to people who have no morals. Thats not to say I won't get up and just calmly walk over and without one word just knock the sh*t out of them. Have done that a time or two, and its usually because they just keep on and on.

Violence doesnt solve anything in dealing with idiots like that. Usually just results in trouble for you and they get away with it in the end.

I can handle names as I was called a lot as a kid. Though, I do not tolerate calling my wife anything. Some guy called her a c*nt once and quickly got a fist to the face. The best part was my wife then landed about 3 more punches in his face when my friends pulled me off of him. This was all after the guy tried to start stuff by calling me and my friends a bunch of fags. We ignored him until he spoke to my wife.

I'm with Tyler 100% on this one. Say what you want about me but leave the wife alone. No one should talk to a woman like that and not expect to get the sh*t kicked out of them.
Good for your wife Tyler.........
-
Good For her TYLER....nothing is worse than getting the sh*t beat out of ya by a woman. More of an ego thing than anything. So Im gathering info here...so you all think Im being too sensitive about the name calling thing? I guess I really dont get too bent out of shape about it...I just ignore the person....either in real life or in chat/texting. Not only does it drive me insane when someone says it to me..but even when I hear other people say it to someone else. To me that word sits at the top of the list above all others. I have before confronted other people when I hear them say it....and they look at me like im some kind of nut case. I cant stand it when I hear it on TV because I cant respond to them. LOL. Hey its just one of my quirks ya know..we all have em. Just like all of ya and seeing a man in red and whites..LOL..
See ya

Yeah, it was pretty funny watching the dude get punched by my wife. I really enjoyed laughing at him as we walked away.
-
Did you call him a name Tyler?? lol

awesome story! O0

The thing that has worked best for me over the years is something I learned from David Allan Coe's book Convict.
His first day in prison he was standing in chow line and someone behind him started talking smack. Coe knew the guy was talking to him but kind of ignored it, as though "this chump simply cannot be talking to me". So on the few occasions that I felt as though someone was addressing me in a less than complimentary manner I just kinda made like he had to be talking to someone else. The jumping off point would be when a person actually made physical contact with me but, thankfully, that has not happened in a long time. I'm gettin' too old for that sh*t.
Plus, guys with loud mouths usually don't go much beyond beatin' their gums. The guys I like to observe are the ones who have nothing to say. They just get kind of a little grin goin' and act nice and when the sh*t kicks off they get down to business. It's massive fun to watch.
-
I completely agree that walking away is the best method. I was trying to employ that method until he spoke to my wife in the manner that he did.
-
Good for you Tyler. People can call me whatever they want, but don't mess with my wife or son. :x!
-
Classic story, Tyler! ;D
So, did you get a little excited when you saw your wife boxing!?! :@` ::)

It happened pretty quick. I had just punched the guy and one of my buddies grabbed me, kinda like a full nelson, to usher me away. As I got about 10 feet away I turned around and saw my wife lay 3 punches right into his cheek while yelling at him. Another friend of mine then grabbed her right as some taxi driver started yelling at us that he was going to call the cops.
